Anycubic Vyper V-Slot feet - hyperfeet

thingiverse

Well, I got my first 3D printer, an Anycubic Vyper. It is pretty nice but the fans are extremely loud. There are some projects to replace the fans and some of them require some stand-off feets. Sure enough you can print some simple cylindrical shapes and create your feet extension. However I was looking for something more sophisticated, also to train a bit my modeling and engineering skills... ... so here you go, a major overenginerded project for something as simple as a device feet! Of course it has some cool features (which you might not need at all): - The feet is designed to slot-in to the Vyper V-Rail slots, so they don't need to be screwed on to the printer - The feet base plate size is small enough so you should be able to still remove all bottom covers - The top-side of the feet (spacer) can be stretched in your slicer to some extent in order to scale them to the height you actually need, by default it will lift your printer by about 25mm including the socket - The base and top side of the feet featuring a slotted design for secure fitting and stable connection - The base and top side are also tied to each other by two built-in friction pins. Using the pins and the slotted design the usually sit very tight on each other, so no screws needed. - The top part includes some slots on the side so you can use a screwdriver to pry them apart if you ever have to separate the top and base part again. - The base includes 2 holes to insert an M3 cylindrical head screw (others might work too) in order to secure the parts with 2 screws. - You can use self-tapper screws - You can also use M3 screws - You should (not tested) be able to even use metal threaded inserts on the top part prior to use M3 screws - The top end featuring a hole for an M4 screw (my Vyper from end 2021 has round rubber feet with M4 screws. - The top end allowing you to insert the slot-nut from the OEM feet inside the V-Rail slots into a holder molded into the top end. So you can use the OEM slot-nut to screw-on the OEM feet. - If you are not using the OEM feet there is also a 7mm hex-nut molding so you can use a 7mm M4 nut instead of the OEM slot-nut to affix any rubber feet - or of course just glue some rubber strip onto the feet. Well, this is it, an extremely overengineered piece. You might well print something more simple if it fits your needs. The project was mainly for my personal use to train modeling skills as well as testing some limits of 3D printing. The model is working fine for me on my Anycubic Vyper but no warranty for other models.
